When you're sitting at your computer, what do you see around you?

I just glanced down and smiled. When I'm on my computer I have my sweet little chihuahua snuggled in a blankie and looking up with her sweet little eyes at me, I glance down and see my little rescue dog, Charlie, at my feet and my big lab under my desk keeping my tootsies warm. LOL Next to me is a window that I can watch the birds and enjoy a soft breeze. What are your surroundings when you're on the computer?

Oh, you had to ask how is the view from my window, well if you clik on the picture to enlarge it, you will get a good idea what I see. One freaking ugly looking tree on the right, on the left is another building (the terrace plaza) those are for the rich people because they have a real terrace which by the way they all close off and fill with junk as you can see. There is garbage beneath that. The soft breeze I get is the exhaust fumes from the cars parked below. You hear sounds of birds, I hear car alarms all night. And directly in front is a spectacular view of a dirty, ugly, tacky, nasty looking brick wall!

My thousand dollar view, Oh I need to get out of here. As for the bums, when they look down from the roof they get the same view but their rent is $00.00 Seriously, this is the only view from the window.

Here at work I see tons of work to do around me! Piles of it I should say- My Pittsburgh Steelers guy who is so obnoxious—he shakes his butt and sings Here we go!, several pics of my daughter and sig. other. I have a huge picture window I sit in front of- With 2 big trees- No new bird nests yet- but it’s fun to watch out when there is- I also love to watch the trees get leaves- then change colors and fall off- At home- my cat is usually fighting to get on my lap but then settles next to me on her bed I made her. My daughter’s toys- Whatever fun things she puts on the computer table. Its way more fun being home at the computer desk than at the work computer desk!

Well, the computer is in the living/kitchen area of the apartment. We have this area right now set up as a music room with computer, my two rabbits and kitchen. lol We have a very small place right now! So with that said, on my left there are drums, the computer printer, and a window. Also the telephone is there. To my right is one of my rabbits, the kitchen table and the kitchen. In back of me is my other rabbit. There's also guitars here too. We really need a new place. lol Greets!

I have such a wonderful view from my computer. In the mornings I sit propped in my bed, with television nearby and both of my cats are asleep on my window sill watching me type. This happens until the afternoon when they will come to my bed and start to lay on me, that is usually a sign to get out of bed and move to another room, which I usually go to the living room where the big television is, at that point my kittens will lay around my feet or on my feet near me so that I can hear them purring and they can know when I might leave my computer so they can beg for more food, I know their tricks.

When im on my computer, i usually don't take notice of things around me, except those things that are infront of my pc, the dsl modem, my cd's my cellphone. because my pc is situated against a wall nd the windows are right behind me. I like this setup for it helps me focus and concentrate more on my work, especially when im doing graphics and designing websites.

I am sat at my desk, in fron of me is a large unit full of my cd collection, and on the wall I have a pin board covered with notes and other random things. At my feet right now Moomin, my cat, is trying to attract my attention, she probably wants food. Next to my desk, I can see out of the window in the living room, it's dull and rainy so I guess I will be staying in on the computer for a while longer :-)

My pc is on my desk against the back wall of my room with the window to my right, its raining so i have the window open and enjoy listening to the rain falling down (sad but true). To my left is my unit with my tv and dvd player on it. Besides my tv is my cupboard, directly behind me is a fan just incase it gets too hot at night or something. Behind me and to my right is my fridge for keeping my drinks cold and within range, oh yeah and my bed is sort of in the corner.

Dang!!! Must be nice!! I see paperwork, papers, pens, reports, stapler, tape, notebooks... And this is at HOME!!! Well, I do have a homebased business, though, so that would explain it. OH, and I can't forget my green m&m girls!! I have a Christmas ornament one that I keep up all year long, a stuffed one that plays music (Christmas also) and a m&m house (it's also a light).

Well it depends on which direction I look :) Right in front of me, when a cat doesn't block my way, is the tv. If I look the other way I see a mural of a mountain scene with a lake. I look the other way I see the couch and recliner. Now the furniture might have people on it or more often then not there are cats all over it. Of course if I look down one is usually in my lap. I'm lucky right now and have it free but who knows for how long :)

My cat if it's the day time. My personal care assistant sometimes sleeping if she's on a break or sleeping at night when I'm still up working at my computer or watching TV. I also see my TV and my activist postcard collection.

I have my computer on a desk. To my right is the tv, I like watching the news channels. And, on the left is book shelves full of books. On my desk I have a candle that I light and right now a bunch of papers and kind of messy looking. I have a window behind me, so I can turn around and see outsid. Right now the window is open and a nice breeze is blowing in.

While I am sitting at the computer I have my golden at my feet and my cat on the keyboard which makes it hard to type. I also have pictures of my children all around me.
